I’d be happy for like a month, then start yearning for a three-day workweek

One might also charge that this the very high built-structure opportunity cost of taking space away from cars. Which is fair.

But bikeways belong alongside transit routes, because transit and communities grow together, and that's a natural place to install bikeways. Where there's no practical space to directly connect, why aren't we talking about putting decks atop these ROWs? Is there some sort of cash shortage in US transportation?

Kid is home sick for second straight day of February ‘vacation’ camp (that we had to pay for). Wife is two weeks removed from surgery and still justifiably dragging. I called out sick from work because I just can’t today.

I really want to put all of the above on my OoO.

Unlike the trek fetch 2, I spy front rack mounts on the frame, too.

To be clear, installing a sidewalk here would be millions of dollars in regrading and building a massive retaining wall. Many old-growth trees lost.

I think of that as the opportunity cost of not doing what I think we should do: Reduce Alewife Brook Parkway to three lanes here.

Sure enough, here’s someone voting with their feet for a sidewalk on the Somerville side of the Alewife Brook Parkway. Quite a failure that there isn’t one.
